Job description

Overview

Electrical Contracts Manager | North West — Manchester / Liverpool Corridor
Salary up to £65,000 + car / car allowance • Home / site based working

We are working with a well-established North West M&E contractor delivering large-scale commercial residential schemes, including hotels and high-end apartment developments. The business turnover is circa £30m-£35m and operates across major projects, typically multi-million-pound schemes. They no longer operate from a traditional office, with their senior team working on a home and site-based model. For the right person, this offers a high level of autonomy without being tied to an office for the sake of it.

They are now looking to appoint an Electrical Contracts Manager into a senior role within the business. This is not simply another Project Manager position. The successful candidate will sit above existing P&L responsible Project Managers, supporting, managing and challenging them across live electrical packages. The role will form part of the senior management structure, working closely with the directors and helping shape delivery across the business. The company is looking for someone with a strong electrical contracting background who understands commercial project delivery, client relationships, programme pressure, labour management and margin protection. A CV showing long-term stints with previous employers will carry real weight here. This would suit an experienced Electrical Project Manager ready to step up, or an established Electrical Contracts Manager looking for a more influential role within a growing contractor.

Responsibilities

• Managing and supporting Electrical Project Managers across multiple live schemes.
• Taking a senior view on programme, cost, labour, procurement, quality and client relationships.
• Working closely with the directors as part of the senior management team.
• Operating across a flexible home and site-based working model.
• Supporting long-term business growth across the Manchester, Liverpool and wider North West region.

Candidate

• Strong electrical building services background.
• Experience delivering sizeable commercial, residential, hotel, apartment or mixed-use schemes.
• Able to manage other Project Managers rather than simply run one project personally.
• Commercially sharp, organised and comfortable with responsibility.
• Stable employment history and looking for a long-term move.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants a proper senior role, real influence, flexible working and a long-term position with a well-run North West contractor
